title: [The influence of classical back and neck massage on the functional state of the cardiovascular system and the frequency-time characteristics of its variability in the adolescents].
abstract: The present study was designed to study the influence of classical back and neck massage on the functional state of the cardiovascular system and its regulation under conditions of short-term physical loading in the healthy adolescents. It was shown that a course of classical massage promoted the reduction of arterial pressure in all children and the heart rate frequency in the boys. This effect was apparent as a reaction of blood circulation to the dosed physical exercises manifested as a rise in the heart rate frequency and stroke volume. The effects of classical massage were shown to be mediated through the alteration of the levels and mechanisms of regulation of the blood circulatory system and the enhancement of humoral and metabolic segmental sympathetic influences associated with the adaptation to the impact of massage therapy.
